Laser-Enabled Fabrication Technologies for Low-Cost Flexible/Conformal Cutaneous Wound Interfaces

Abstract

Neural interfaces are engineered devices that aim at replacing, restoring, and rehabilitating the injured or damaged nervous system. One of the challenges to overcome to deploy therapeutic neural interfaces as clinical treatments lies in the physical mismatch between biological tissues and artificial engineered devices. This chapter details recent development in materials science and technology focused on reducing this physical mismatch thereby opening the path for long-term biointegrated neural interfaces.
